Ultra-mini teaser trailer for Polanski's 'The Ghost'

I'm really excited about Roman Polanski's upcoming thriller "The Ghost," but it's not because of this very short teaser that recently popped up online. I mean, come one! This darn thing is only 16 seconds long. My best guess is it's some kind of leaked footage intened for a longer preview.

Anyway, based on Robert Harris' novel, the film follows a ghostwriter who’s under pressure to finish the memoir of a former prime minister. When the author stumbles across a conspiracy that could implicate the ex-politician, he has to choose between his own safety and the commitment to his employer.

Sounds great, and so does the film's cast: Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Hutton, James Belushi, Tom Wilkinson and Kim Cattrall are all on board. "The Ghost: will hit theateres some time next year. BTW, Polanski last directed "Oliver Twist." Mini teaser follows after the jump.
